Keeping up with the heat and humidity in Merritt Island, Florida, is a full-time job. If your air conditioner is more than 10 to 12 years old and has performance issues, it’s time to think about a replacement. As a homeowner, you don’t want to replace your HVAC system prematurely, but you don’t want to wait until it leaves you in a lurch either. At Coastal Climate Experts, we can complete a heat pump installation at the right moment so that you enjoy maximum returns.
Signs That It’s Time for a Heat Pump Installation
If you’re thinking about a heat pump replacement, you probably have a particular goal in mind, such as improving your home’s energy efficiency or making sure your older heat pump doesn’t give out in the middle of the summer. Before proceeding, it’s important to rule out mechanical issues and duct-related problems. We also consider the following factors.
- Life Expectancy: Age alone isn’t grounds for replacement, but it can tip the scales if you’re facing costly repairs or persistent comfort challenges.
- Ownership Costs: Outdated HVAC equipment can cost an arm and a leg to run and maintain. If your energy use and repair bills are rising, a replacement can rein in these costs.
- Peace of Mind: You shouldn’t be stuck holding your breath while waiting for the next breakdown. A new installation can provide the peace of mind and reliability that you deserve.
Energy Efficiency and System Features
Equipment efficiency has improved by leaps and bounds over the past 15 years. Today’s heat pumps are up to 40 percent more efficient than systems installed in the mid-2000s. To enjoy lower energy bills, look for models that feature 2 stage motors and variable-speed fans. These systems typically have performance ratings between 16 and 22 SEER. They also remove more humidity and allergens for improved comfort year-round.
